Properties
Description
PCL(8k)-PEG(2k)-PCL(8k) consists of two polycaprolactone (PCL) blocks and a hydrophilic shell (PEG) block. The ester bonds of the polymer can be degraded via hydrolysis in this polymer.
Molecular Weight
PCL(8 kDa), PEG(2 kDa), PCL(8 kDa)
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
PCL(8k)-PEG(2k)-PCL(8k) can be used to encapsulate hydrophobic materials within a hydrophilic environment, ensuring controlled release and enhanced solubility.
